INTRODUCTION TO 1 CORINTHIANS 15 The apostle, in this chapter, recommends the Gospel, and gives a summary of it, proves the resurrection of Christ, and by various arguments establishes the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, and answers objections made unto it.

For I delivered unto you first of all,.... Not only in the first place as to order; but among the chief and principal things, as the words will bear to be rendered, this was insisted on in his ministry; this was one he after relates, even a crucified Christ, or the doctrine of his dying for the sins of his people; and which he mentions to lead on to his resurrection; which he meant to improve,...
Matthew Henry
In this chapter the apostle treats of that great article of Christianity—the resurrection of the dead. I. He establishes the certainty of our Saviour's resurrection, ver. 1-11. II.

Which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

How that Christ died for our sins according to...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For I delivered unto you first of all that which, I also received,- The preacher of Christ must not make new doctrines. He is not to be his own teacher, he is to receive the truth first, and then to deliver it. The Christian minister takes the lamp out of the hand of God, and then passes it on to the hands of his people. Think not that any originality is needed in the pulpit. All that is required...
Charles H. Spurgeon
How that Christ died for our sins according to the scripture; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: There are many passages in the Old Testament which describe the Messiah as dying for sinners, especially the old chapter of Isaiah’s prophecy. There are others that speak of him as being buried, yet not corrupting in the tomb. These were facts...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; This is the solid basis of the gospel.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; That is the first fundamental fact in the gospel system. Blessed is the man who believes it, and rests his soul upon it.
